wow floyd...
there's been some great advice in this thread!
Hunting in a primarily wooded and thick area down South and just having gotten back from a hunt in some mountains between Utah and Nevada (you're in PA and moving west, right?), I'd suggest you talk to some gun folks out there after you move.
I always put my trust in the locals wherever I am when it comes to hunting, and it is so incredibly different out west than it is where we have more woods. Even if your gun shop up in PA is great, and I'm sure it is, you might want to have the opportunity to talk to some folks out west after you move.
Good l uck!
